What what whaat? Sign me up, lol.

I've been eating my TDEE and gained two pounds, but my clothes fit the same. This may have been water weight. I'll find out soon enough. Also, I'm not hangry. I may have been under eating for years.

Huh? Giddy, yes you are. What's TDEE?

Total Daily Energy Expenditure. http://www.health-calc.com/diet/energy-expenditure-advanced

I'm sort of over this whole concept of metabolic recovery, since I don't want to explode from eating that much food. I can't eat 3300 calories on a busy day and 2200 on a slow one.
